“I will stay, Narissa might not approve, but I will. You just rest Clara.” Galen said after laying her down. Clara grew warm at the sensation. “I’m sure you’ll be better in the morning.” He told her and she nodded, she slide her hand into his and drifted into a thankfully dreamless sleep.

The morning had come, and the storm broke but the chill was nearly unbearable. Still, Narissa made her way into town which looked deserted and to the inn, where Robin was staying. She made her way to the room and knocked. "Master Azura," She called through the door. "It is Narissa," She said and the moment he let her and abd closed the door, she told him everything that had been going on in the castle, from the story Clara told her about The Shadow King's multiple personalities, and the alleged curse, to Clara's seemingly growing feelins toward the Galen personality.

"She would be so very cross that I told you all of this," She said when she finished. "But I fear for her safety, The Princess is capable but she doesn't know the world, she is a princess, and an ill one, she's seen the world through a window, most of her life," Narissa paced. "She trusts you to start a rebellion and that's seemed to be the only reasonable thing she's done. The Shadow King is trying to seduce her, giving her a broken thing she can fix." She said. "Clara has a soft spot for the broken, she wants to save everyone, and this Galen personality is just that, someone she can potentially save." She said. "But it's all lies, I just know it." She went on, shaking her head. "If there only there was a way to get her attention from him," She said and scanned Robin. He was handsome, undeniably, and Clara had seemed to redden at the thought of him. Perhaps.

"You could distract her, she mentioned you a few times before the Shadow King got his claws into her." She said feigning coyness. "You could win the Princess's attention, very easily." She said with a simple shrug."Very easily."

Back at the castle, Clara awoke while into the morning, she smiled to find that she hadn't moved much at all and she couldn't recall her dreams. She looked over to see that she did move, but only a little, she was resting on something firm. She lifted her head to see that she had been sleeping on Galen's chest. How she got there she didn't know but atleast she hadn't walked. Her cheeks reddened and she removed herself, though she didn't really want to.
